Staff, volunteer and contractor parking

Each site has a maximum number of car parking spaces it can allocate to permit parking.

Permit applications are on hold at some of our care organisations, due to maximum permit capacity being reached. 

The Trust continually assess car park occupancy in order to understand whether any more car parking permits can be issued.  For those sites that are at full occupancy, a waiting list is in operation to process permits and these will be processed in application date order.  

As and when  capacity becomes available, applications will be processed and the applicant will be informed if they have been successful with a permit application.

If the current situation relating to commuting to and from work and/ or a parking applications is causing you issues, please speak to your line manager in the first instance as they will be able to provide individual support or adjustments, plus discuss or escalate any wider concerns.
